Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
''Begin with Start (bottom left of your desktop). Where is stays
''Start
search', enter 'cmd'. A new window opens. Type 'sfc /scannow' and that
begins the scan and repair process''
I've been having this same problem ever since I uninstalled toshiba
component software to replace it with a more up to date software. Back
to the point, I have been browsing the replies and I have come across
people stating that the cmd requires you to be an administrator. In
response to this I have worked out that to begin this process as an
administrator. After you have typed in 'sfc /scannow' and it has
completed you will be required to restart your machine.
Before opening the cmd, you must right click on this and click on 'run
as administrator' and allow under UAC. I hope this proves helpful to you
and that I haven't repeated anyone.
I have just carried out this and the result of it was that it did work
for me but there is accounts of this failing to work for other people. I
hope this has come of some help to people.
My laptop is a Toshiba Sattellite A300 1BZ, originally came with Vista
Home Premium then I installed XP and recently put on Vista Bussiness.
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
If you are receiving the notification:
Connection status: Unknown
Dependency service or group failed to start;
and you are running Vista and using Trend Micro for virus protection,
then a fix is available for your problem.
The problem is that Trend Micro mistakenly identified a Windows
service, Network Location Awareness service, as a virus and altered the
service to protect the system. I have written up the fix on my blog. I
wrote after I found the same problem on 2 PCs in one week and spent
hours looking for a fix.

Thank you sharkymatei!!
After reading through several posts this is a solution that worked for
me.
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
Hi. I'm new to this forum - I found it looking for the problem in this
thread.
I tried the various methods listed - none actually worked for me but
then I had a "once in a lifetime" piece of lateral thinking:
If Vista is complaining about not being able to start a service then
maybe it's been disabled. So I looked in Services (Admin Tools) and
clicked the Startup Type column so they were sorted and easy to see
which ones were disabled.
Sure enough, there was Network Location Awareness marked as Disabled
(it was that I was having trouble with). I changed it to Auto and
everything now works. Of course I could have changed to Manual and
started it when needed.
Sometimes it's the easy things we overlook! I hope this helps someone.
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
I'm having the same issues, but none of the fixes in this thread have
worked. I haven't tried doing a full system restore yet, but I'm about
5 min. away from doing. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?
All of this started when my Norton Subscription ran out. I was waiting
for it to run out as I have Mccaffe (sp?), but that wont install now
either.
For some reason, I've had nothing but issues with Vista...
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
I did a system restore to a prior date and this worked for me. I had
tried the scannow option and the winsock reset but both failed . The
system restore did the trick.
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
Sharkymate has the right fix. I've spent my entire day trying to repair
this problem and stumbled on his "cure". I did Windows Restore,
cmd.exe, etc etc. and was also getting error 10107(which is windows
socket error). Just make sure you right click on cmd and run as
administrator-even if you're signed in as the administrator. I have a
brand new Toshiba satellite that this happened on.
Thanks again!
